In the summer of the third year of Zhenghe, the guest team of Chao Jiazhuang was formed, and Chao Chong served as the head coach. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chao Chong trained Zhuang Ke in accordance with the requirements of the army, and the establishment of private armed forces could be similar to that of the regular army, but the official title could not be the same, otherwise there would be a suspicion of rebellion. Just like the security team of the Celestial Empire, no matter how large the scale is, it cannot use the rank of the army.

Therefore, Chao Chong rearranged the new and old villagers, the original fifty old villagers, and the fifty new villagers who had just joined, were arranged according to the rules

A group of five people has a team leader.

The two groups are one class, and there is one class leader.

The fifth class is a team, with a team leader.

Fifty people are in a team, and 100 people are in two teams.

Chao Chong also selected a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy surnamed Chao in Dongxi Village, and formed a family archery team of fifty people. The teenagers in the village are different from the villagers, most of them are adults, brave, and rebellious, so they need strong characters to suppress and tame. Most of the teenagers in the village are hot-blooded young people, simple-minded and more malleable.

Since learning the bow and arrow, Chao Sheng has shown an excellent talent for archery, and he can shoot ten shots and ten hits fifty steps away from a fixed target. So Chao Chong let Chao Sheng join the archery team.

Chao Chong asked Chao Yang to join the Zhuangke team for training, and with Chao Yang's strength, he easily served as the squad leader of the first class.

Chao Chong promised that after three months of training, a jousting competition would be held, and the person with the highest force would be the captain of the first, second and third teams. The competitive spirit of the bankers was also mobilized.

Chao Chong knew that two years later was when Chao Gai went to Liangshan, when the government sent troops to encircle and suppress Dongxi Village, and the Chao clan drew a clear line with Chao Gai in order to protect themselves. Although Chao Gai got 100,000 birthdays, Wanguan's family business was also destroyed in the encirclement and suppression of the government.

Since it's destruction, it's better to waste some. So Chao Chong began a series of very unsuccessful actions.

The Great Song Dynasty had strict control over military weapons, and crossbows, armor, and long knives were not allowed to be owned by private armed forces and high-rollers.

As for non-standard weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, iron rods, knives, and hook locks, they turn a blind eye.

Everyone did this, so Chao Chong was not afraid of violating the official taboo.

The first is to customize fifty long-handled simple knives, which cost five hundred kan.

What is a Pak Knife? It's a short knife with a long wooden handle. It's not a good weapon, and it's easy for the high-rollers to pick up a handle when they wander around.

The second is to order 100 folk hunting bows and 10,000 arrows, which cost 3,000 yuan.

The bow is different from the crossbow, as the so-called bow is like a soldier, the crossbow is like a general, the bow is a dual-use daily necessities, and the crossbow is a strictly controlled product.

Another 150 sets of clothes, pants, boots and hats were made, and it cost 200 pieces.

Armor cannot be made at will, and even the simplest leather armor is somewhat taboo. But the cloth clothes, shoes and hats are fine.

Then order fifty spears, and cost three hundred pieces.

The spear is the most basic self-defense weapon of the people, a simple gun head, plus a wooden pole, the most ordinary blacksmith in the countryside can produce ten per day. It is difficult to make the gun barrel, a good gun barrel needs to be straightened, kneaded, air-dried, and rubbed with oil, and it will take more than a month to get a set of processes down.

As for vegetables and meat, they are purchased in large quantities every day.

In just one month, it took about 4,000 yuan. This is almost equivalent to the income of the Chao family's annual grain tax. Rao is Chaogai's family is wealthy, but he is also a little unbearable. Fauber, who managed finances, was distressed for a month, and when he saw Chao Chong coming, he was terrified.

Because of such a large purchase, Chao Chong's name once again resounded in Yuncheng, and his nickname changed from shameless Tai Sui to a loser Tai Sui.

Chao Gai didn't care about this, but thought that his son was very courageous. In addition to the fields, the Chao family also has some shops and two caravans, and they also have an annual income of six or seven thousand yuan. One hundred and fifty Zhuangke, except for the huge cost of replenishing equipment in the first month, the expenditure in other months is only about two hundred, and the Chao family can fully support it. Even if there is a financial crisis, Chao Gai will support his son to continue, in addition to a hundred foreign villagers, there are also fifty young people of the clan, who will give them a consistent copper coin every month, and the people in the clan are grateful to Chao Gai. This opportunity to buy hearts and minds cannot be missed.

My son of Chaogai, how can I let others laugh at me! Even if you use money to smash it, you must give your son a good name, and you must not give up halfway.

In the first month, Chao Chong's training for the Zhuangke team was only four:

The first item was a 10-lap race around Dongxi Village in the morning.

The second is to stand in a military posture for two hours.

The third is a queue walking exercise.

The fourth item is to check the housekeeping and bedding arrangement.

This is the training program of Chi Guoguo's plagiarism in the early days of the Celestial Empire's military training. Simple and boring, especially to check the housekeeping, bedding tidying, the village teenagers are better, because of their young age, easy to accept new things, but those slippery villagers complain for days.

In this regard, Chao Chong adopted a high-pressure policy and corporal punishment training. He also threatened that if anyone was dissatisfied, he could challenge him, as long as he could be knocked down and exempted from housekeeping. But most of the thorns still chose to tidy up their housework after thinking about it, because even if the quilt is difficult to tidy up, it is possible to get it right, knock down Chao Chong, forget it. In the past month, they have seen Chao Chong's crazy practice, and after the amount of training, they are all silent.

In the course of a month, this team of 150 people gradually gained a sense of discipline.

In the second month, the main practice is to line up, report the number, walk, run, turn, salute, and physical exercise.

In a month's time, the team became stronger and stronger, and walked vigorously.

In the third month, weapons and equipment have been delivered to the Chao family one after another. After the class is distributed, practice the sword wielding, spear advancement, and bow and arrow three-stage strike.

In a month's time, this team has the appearance of an army. Everyone is also holding back their energy, preparing to compete for the positions of the three captains at the end of the month.

When the three-month period promised by Chao Chong was up, he was ready to officially complete the 150 people.

In order to show the results of the three-month training, Chao Chong decided to conduct a school martial arts exercise.

For this reason, a one-zhang high martial arts platform was built in the martial arts training ground, Chao Gai sat in the center, and Chao Chong waited behind him. Huge gongs and drums rang out. The five-colored flag fluttered, and the school martial arts exercise officially began.

First of all, a military exercise was carried out. Perform procession, counting, walking, running, turning, saluting.

Second, carry out weapons drills. Perform training items such as sword wielding, spear advancement, and bow and arrow triple strike.

Finally, a personal martial arts exercise is conducted. Through individual competitions, compete for the places of the three captains.

Those who are confident to participate in the competition, register their names, receive their numbers, and start to play against each other, with the winner advancing and the loser eliminating. The position of captain is awarded according to the final victory.

Chao Yang himself is powerful, Chao Gai intends to train him to be his son's right-hand man, so he has been carefully cultivated, poured into teaching, and stood out in the Zhuangke team, and a challenge, undoubtedly won the first place. Become the captain of the first team.

Another Zhuangke, Chen Cheng, who had been in Chaofu for five years, won second place. Become the captain of the second team.

Chao Sheng's archery skills were outstanding, and he won the first place in the family's archery team and became the captain of the third team.

The hero of the rivers and lakes, the winner is king. Now that the winner has been decided, everyone has nothing to say.

Chao Chong stood in front of the stage, looking at the villagers who were standing according to the team, each team was lined up according to the specifications of 10*5, each team was a small phalanx, Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng stood at the front of the three phalanxes.

Chao Chong looked at the scene in front of him, and a sense of pride arose, this is the foundation of his survival in this world!

Chao raised his voice and said: "Look at your front and back, this is our partner who has shared weal and woe for three months; Look at the three men standing at the front of you, the heroes who stand out from among you through hard work; Think about what I said to you three months ago, fate is in your own hands, whether you can get on the throne depends on your own ability, I will do what I say! ”

Chao Chong looked down at the team under the stage, saw that they were still standing quietly, and said with satisfaction: "Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng are on stage!" ”

Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng walked to the stage with their heads held high, and Chao Gai personally stepped forward, took three sets of brand-new black military uniforms from the servants, and solemnly handed them to them.

Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng wore the pitch-black military uniforms on their bodies under the envious eyes of everyone in the audience, and with the cooperation of the servants, the three majestic characters were displayed in front of everyone.

Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng's original temperament can only be regarded as brave, and wearing this military uniform, they show a bit of majestic temperament. Sure enough, people rely on clothing.

Chao Chong waved his hand again, and several servants came to the stage and fixed the red background and black pennants with cowhide straps behind Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng, and two behind one person. The black word "Chao" on the bright red background is thick and simple, like two black dragons raising their heads to compete for the sun.

The back guard appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and prevailed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but most of them were used for cavalry. There are three functions: one is to signal the mark, the second is to protect the back, and the third is to bluff.

Chao Chong used the back guard for the infantry, in order to use it as a substitute for military rank, so that it would be easier to command in chaotic battles. However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and such a windy appearance is easy for their own soldiers to identify at the same time, and it is also easy for the enemy to identify, and the danger factor is greatly increased.

But on the other hand, what is the use of grassroots generals who can't charge into battle? So danger is also the motivation for them to enhance their own strength.

Chao Chong nodded to his father, Chao Gai. Chao Gai walked up to Chao Yang, Chen Cheng, and Chao Sheng and said, "In the name of Chao Gai, the head of the Chao family and the king of Tota, I appoint Chao Yang as the captain of the first team. Chen became the captain of the second team. Chao was promoted to captain of the third team. Are you willing to accept it, fight for my Chao family, fight for my Chao Gai! ”

Chao Yang, who had already received Chao Chong's guidance last night, immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Fight for the king, liver and brain, don't give up!" ”

Chao Sheng also knelt down on one knee and said: "Fight for the King of Heaven, your liver and brain are smeared, and you will not give up!" ”

When Chen Cheng saw it, he was not far behind, and he also knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Fight for the King of Heaven, your liver and brain are smeared, and you will not give up!" ”

Chao Gai was very satisfied, and from the servants, he took the newly made waist knives and gave them them one by one.

After the three platoons were loyal, Chao Chong asked them to stand on the high platform, accept the respect of everyone in the audience, and shouted to the below: "Salute!" ”

"Boast! Handsome! "Uniform movements, two unisons, a team of one hundred and fifty people, standing upright, holding a weapon in the left hand, clenching a fist in the right hand, clapping it on the heart.

This is a set of military salutes designed by Chao Chong.

The long body stands upright, representing the dignity of the soldier and never giving in;

Holding a weapon in the left hand, it means that the soldier is always vigilant;

The right hand is clenched into a fist and clapped on the heart, representing the sacrifice of one's loyalty.

Chao Chong waved his hand and shouted: "Fight for the King of Heaven, your liver and brain are smeared, and you will not give up!" ”

Everyone in the audience shouted:

"Fight for the King of Heaven, liver and brain, don't give up!"

"Fight for the King of Heaven, liver and brain, don't give up!"

"Fight for the King of Heaven, liver and brain, don't give up!"

There is a thing called brainwashing in the world, even if it is a lie, if it is said a hundred times, some people will believe it. This sentence "Fight for the king of heaven, the liver and brain are smeared, and you will not give up!" It is the brainwashing remarks designed by Chao Chong.

Chao Gai accepted everyone's allegiance with a face full of satisfaction.

Chao Gai then handed over a two-zhang long banner with black characters on a red background to Chao Chong and said: "My son, you are the head of my Chao Clan's escort team, and I handed over this team to you for my father!" ”

Chao Gai's statement made Chao Chong's behavior more in line with the rules.

Chao Chong raised the banner and fluttered in the wind: "From today on, I Chao's family is a guest,

The first team, captain Chao Yang. Two back flags.

Subordinate equipment: black military uniform, cowhide boots, spear.

It's for the pikes.

The second team, captain Chen Cheng. Two back flags.

Subordinate equipment: black military uniform, cowhide boots, long-handled knives.

It's for the Park Knife team.

The third team, captain Chao Sheng. Two back flags.

Subordinate equipment: black uniform, cowhide boots, hunting bow, quiver, arrow.

It's for the archers.

Head of Coach: Chao Chong. Three back flags.

Head of the house: Chao Gai. The general flag of the Chao Guardian Force. For the time being, it is temporarily managed by Chao Chong.

Chao Chong pointed to the three guards behind him with his backhand and said, "The Chao Clan's escort team is officially formed today. The number of back flags behind the back shows the level of the position. The squad leader has a back flag. The captain has two back flags. The head of the three guards the back flag. The backguard represents the charge at the forefront of the battle; The back flag represents the ordinary soldiers following and gathering; The backguard represents the bravery and glory of the individual. Remember our slogan: Chao's guards, fight for the king, liver and brain, do not hesitate! ”

"Chao's guards, fighting for the Heavenly King, liver and brain, don't give up!"

"Chao's guards, fighting for the Heavenly King, liver and brain, don't give up!"

Under the leadership of their respective captains, everyone in the audience shouted for a long time.

This is the end of this school martial arts exercise.

ps: The minimum subsistence guarantee in the Water Margin is about 1-1.5 times. 1 tael of silver is equivalent to about 2 pieces.

The rescuer needs 15-20 taels of silver, the capital of doing business is about 10-15 taels, and the bribe to the servant generally costs 5-10 taels of silver.

According to this calculation, the living expenses of a family in the Water Margin are 1 tael of silver per month and 10-15 taels of silver a year, and the minimum basic living guarantee is 1 tael per month and 12-15 taels a year.

This is also the reason why rewards, bribes, and doing business in the Water Margin are more than 1 tael (monthly income), 5 taels (half a year's income), 10 taels (a year's income), and 15 taels.
